Tax write-offs must likely.
Personally I'd buy a football club so I could invite John Terry to be the guest of honour at half time. Unbeknownst to him, I'd make him swim through a 50m pool filled with penguin shìt before making him sùck off a tramp at the other end. Now that's a Super Sunday. |

Makes you look back fondly on the days you got admitted to hospital to get drugs pumped out of you.
In all seriousness, wishing Dave a full and speedy recovery. |

We moved to action Acton about 16 years ago as I wanted to stay in West London (missus is from Croydon). You're more likely to find an affordable house on the moon than in the Grove, Shepherd's Bush was getting beyond our budget, Chiswick moreso (and not really my type of community). There was still value to be found in Acton and it's honestly one of the best moves we've made.
Teevan's is indeed still there or "M Teevan" to give it it's full title which is either an unintentional or wonderful pun on the fact they literally hire empty vans. |

On any given day, any club can beat any other club. If you change that competitive nature and it becomes more predictable, broadcast revenues reduce [and] if you affect the broadcast value of the Premier League - the only funder of the entire pyramid, nobody else funds it - you affect the whole pyramid and to do that would be reckless and wrong…
Thanks Baroness Brady, I was wondering how football got along before 1992. I can predict one thing with absolute utter certainty and that's that West Ham won't win the Premier League while I have a hole in my arsenal. |

Both my boys went to St Vincents and are now at Gunnersbury. They're good schools.
I went to the Oratory in Fulham Broadway which was actually fine, except for the proximity to that pit of fùcking window-licking wànkers the other side of the railway line. |

I still have PTSD from having to drive around the Toulouse ring road (Périphérique de Toulouse) a few years back. It was an ordeal I can only liken to a cross between the sheer brutality of a Mad Max movie and Smoky and the Bandit for the amount of comedy fànny-tickler moustaches on display. I'm a good driver but that was fùcking brutal. |

Hello Hoopstar  your recollection of the warm-up for the strikers is pretty bang on the money.
Our key (only) tactic was to win the toss for kick off (the only thing we did win that afternoon) and larrup it towards goal in an attempt to catch the Bees keeper off his line. RD did the honours and hit it like such a minge I wouldn't be surprised if it's still trundling towards the edge of the centre circle today, struggling to achieve escape velocity.
And great call on that semi-pro. He did something flash in the warm up like controlling the ball with fewer than 18 touches and I thought "you're the first one to be getting a reducer" - couldn't get near enough to get his attention, let alone foul him. [Post edited 20 Feb 19:07]

I started that game up front with RoadDog and I don't think there's ever been a worse striking partnership to pull on the hoops. Our best player (Maverick) had one arm. |

Reply | Squad depth
at 05:29 16 Feb 2025
This is an excellent point as you've highlighted in a nutshell there's a big difference between what is in the best interests of individual players and the playing squad as a whole over both the short-term (next couple of games) and longer-term this season and the next.
Edwards and Morrison is almost an ideal problem to have for me. In Morrison we've made a long-term signing that aligns with our supposed model of identifying potential value to develop, improving the squad, results and the player and ultimately to sell at a handsome profit to reinvest.
Until he got injured, Morrison looked to be ticking a lot of boxes for me and it's no coincidence we look steadier at the back when he's playing. But injured he did get and we needed to move quickly to replace him with someone who a) is at least as good or better and b) fits into the squad and isn't an academy wànker. Edwards seems to be both and has the added benefit of a jawline that is making many of us mildly curious in ways we never considered before this age of sheer wokery.
What's best for Morrison (or at least what I'd imagine he wants personally) is to play every game he's fit to play. What's best for the playing squad in the short-term (results) is to play the best players you have in every single position and that's Edwards at the moment in one of those positions. What's best for everyone long(er)-term is if Morrison can develop the areas of his game that Edwards is currently better at (jawline notwithstanding). Ultimately, I want to see clubs like Southampton trying to buy players like Morrison from us, much like we should have done with Edwards while he was at Barnet.
I'm really not understanding why anyone thinks playing one over the other based on where we might or might not finish is a good idea for anyone. |
